Q: What's the difference between 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows?

A: 32- and 64-bits refer to the way a computer's central processor (essentially, its brain) handles information. Computers that contain 64-bit processors handle data in larger blocks, which makes them more efficient. You can't put software designed for a 64-bit system on a 32-bit system, though — it won't work.

To find out what type of system your computer is running:

Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.

The operating system appears as follows:

For a 64-bit version operating system, "64-bit Operating System" appears under System Type.

For a 32-bit version operating system, "32-bit Operating System" appears under System Type.
